Welcome and Introductions

NYC DoITT Strategic Plan

Samir Saini, DoITT Commissioner and Citywide Chief Information Officer, New York City

Reducing Tech Debt

Per an article on CIO Insight, technology debt is more than just annual run cost and the sunk costs of hardware, software and code. “It also includes the inefficiencies, duplicate processes and extra work created by outdated or out-of-control technology architecture.” Ideally, your strategic plan will work to reduce this but how is that working? Do you measure tech debt? What is the best way to address it? This session will provide examples of how organizations are approaching tech debt and ideas you can put into practice.

Gary Brantley, Chief Information Officer, City of Atlanta, GA

Data – Silos, Privacy and Security

Every jurisdiction, regardless of size is looking at the challenges and opportunities that are represented in gathering, analyzing, storing and securing large and small sets of data. The number of regulations regarding the use of disparate sets of data is dizzying and any effort to create a master data management plan and fully implement it can be fraught with numerous obstacles. This session will begin with some examples of data plans and then a robust discussion on getting to the promised land – one pane of glass!

Archie Satchell, Chief Information Officer, Palm Beach County, FL

Lunch

Working with/for Law Enforcement and Public Safety

Every large city or county has law enforcement to work with or for. Whether it is a sheriff or chief of police, makes little difference. Some IT organizations have recently brought law enforcement under their umbrella and others have enjoyed this relationship for many years. What can we learn from each other? What unique challenges does law enforcement bring and what are organizations doing to respond (think NextGen 911 as just one example)? This session will focus on an area of government that will continue to need the guidance and professional support from local government IT leaders and their organizations.

Telcom Modernization

As employee mobility continues to rise and aging infrastructure begs for modernization, local government CIOs are looking at many options. As 5G starts to be built out and small cell options become viable, what are your plans? What does the network of the future mean in your jurisdiction? Where are you regarding planning or implementation?

Achieving Digital Inclusion

The digital divide is still looming over most communities. Many organizations have efforts underway to create partnerships that will generate impact in building a connected community that is inclusive. More than one jurisdiction has something like a digital equity playbook they are working from. What is your jurisdiction doing? What partnerships are you exploring? What has worked best? This will be an opportunity to talk about how, in a politically divided country, we continue to strive for access for all.

Stephen Elkins, Chief Information Officer, City of Austin, TX

Andrew Peterson, Chief Information Officer, City of Oakland, CA

The Role of the Chief Privacy Officer
